Brown Pixelstuck, stylized as Imagine Pixelstuck, but brown, yeah that's what it is. on-site, was a faction active from Canvas 90 to Canvas 94 that made art featuring the color brown based on the webcomic, Homestuck inspired by the other Homestuck-themed faction, Pixelstuck. Outside of the shared name, they had no official association with the faction. It was founded by Onion77 during Canvas 90 as an Anti-Swarm discord server called the Squiddles Swarm Destruction Device and later rebranded to its current name during Canvas 91, the same canvas where the faction made their first artwork. On Canvas 94, the faction was de facto dissolved following Onion77's permanent platform ban due to repeated offenses of harassment and hate speech.

History

Canvas 90

During this canvas, Onion77 created an anti-Swarm discord server called the Squiddles Swarm Destruction Device (SSDD), inviting many prominent placers that are against or have been critical of Swarm. Onion claimed in the server to have plans to destroy or place over art made by Neuro-sama's Swarm in Canvas 91. These statements were widely interpreted as being stated in jest as no significant action followed. Later, Pro Squiddler Fisk stated that the faction wasn't "going giant or on top of swarm" in contradiction to the faction leader's earlier claims.

During this canvas, SSDD placed the cover of Homestuck album, Squiddles!. The art was initially positioned in the top right corner of the canvas' tail, but was later moved to the canvas' right leg in an area bordering the Cell Lattice due to an overlap with Neuro-sama's Swarm.

SSDD also placed multiple "mini squiddles" in areas near art by the Swarm over the course of the canvas, one of which was placed over with art by the newly formed Crelly's Herd faction, another mini squiddle was placed in the Swarm's emote box and was later covered by the :neuroSuperior: emote, the rest of the mini squiddles were later covered by the Swarm's background art.

Later in the canvas, Onion77 established an in-game faction named Pixelstuck, identical to the existing faction of the same name but distinguished by a Chocolate-colored tag. Following this, the SSDD discord server was renamed to Brown Pixelstuck. The in-game faction was later renamed to Imagine Pixelstuck, but brown, yeah that's what it is. in response to concerns raised by Defensive_Lobster about the potential for diplomatic confusion with the original Pixelstuck faction.

Canvas 92

Brown Pixelstuck's main art for this canvas was originally defiddled by Pebble for the main Pixelstuck faction, but Brown Pixelstuck was given permission to use it.

During the canvas, after the faction was finished with their main art and had fully restored it from the earlier unhelpings. The faction placed Jade Harley between the disembodied legs of Minato Aqua, which was placed by the NPom collab.

While the Jade artwork was being placed, 3 placers from the NPom collab began reverting its pixels due to Brown Pixelstuck placing Jade directly between the legs without any gap between the artworks. The Arsonists and other volunteers assisted Brown Pixelstuck in placing their art in response to the dispute with the reverters. The artwork was later finished by the Brown Pixelstuck-led coalition around a day after it was announced as by then, the reverters had ceased their operation.

On the 13th of August, the Jade artwork was raided by Neuro-sama's Swarm. They modified the art to give Jade a grinning expression, and a held up sign saying "#1 SWARM FAN". They also replaced the parts of the Jade artwork that were touching their art of Aqua's legs with the surrounding Green Lattice, and gave the remainder of the piece an aqua outline. The Swarm finished making their modifications to the artwork 42 minutes after the beginning of the raid.

Brown Pixelstuck unhelpings

Main article: C92 Bee raids#Brown Pixelstuck unhelpings

During the canvas, pixels on Brown Pixelstuck's art that were originally placed by defenders of the Sabrina Carpenter bee art were later replaced by those same users with azure pixels, imitating the initial state of the canvas. The bee defenders claimed that they were retracting their prior support to Brown Pixelstuck in protest of prominent members of the faction, including Onion77 assisting The Arsonists in the C92 Bee raids.

It was later clarified that this response stemmed from a misunderstanding, as the bee defenders believed the entire faction was participating in the griefs, due to Onion and Fisk (a major contributor to the raids) both having the Brown Pixelstuck in-canvas faction tag equipped during the attacks.

The unhelpings lasted 7 hours resulting in the bee defenders having successfully undone all of the pixels that they had contributed to the faction. The unhelpings climaxed 6 hours in with Brown Pixelstuck having lost approximately 1,800 pixels of progress at the time. The faction completely restored their art 21 hours after the unhelpings concluded.

Canvas 93

During this canvas, Brown Pixelstuck's template initially had three artworks: one of a radio squiddle from Portalstuck, one of Jade Harley holding up a sign reading "Pull Neuro's Plug", and one of Wayward Vagabond (The Mayor) holding a pumpkin. All three artworks were defiddled by Defensive_Lobster.

Later additions to the template were a default ball from Geometry Dash (defiddled by Chronos), as well as recolored versions of the Buddy emote and Peas Service's beandog. All three were recolored to be in shades of brown.

Despite Revenge666, who was pro squiddler and the de facto second-in-command of the faction at the time being present during the canvas reset, Brown Pixelstuck was unable to establish their final claim until two hours into the new canvas. The faction was able to claim this location by having their artworks of Jade and The Mayor slightly overlap with Edge Gang's King of Snowgrave art in collaboration with Slim FiddlE and The Yellow Line, due to the faction collab's loose policy on overlapping arts.

Prior to the final claim being established, Revenge666 had adjusted the placement and orientation of the artworks three times due to overlapping with other factions. During this struggle, he briefly conceded in trying to claim for the faction, releasing the following statement explaining the situation to members of the faction, in which he calls Onion "slightly incompetent".

"Due to lack of space, overclaims, and our slightly incompetent leader, Brown Pixelstuck will not be claiming a template on this canvas. We may later decide to attempt to go over one of these mentioned overclaims to get space but for now brown pixelstuck will plan on our next moves (most likely more shenanigans) thank you for your time. stay brown"
- Revenge666

The sign on the Jade Harley art was originally planned to read "#BeheadNeuro", raising concerns about the sign violating the "No obscene or sexual wording and/or topics." rule among the community. Onion77 claims that he contacted Pxls Administrator, Zephyr about the sign and was given "explicit permission" by them to place it. Later, the planned text on the sign was changed to "Pull Neuro's Plug" following a request by the moderators.

During the canvas, Brown Pixelstuck acquired the vassalage of three defunct Cell Lattice-inspired factions: Dark Cells, Hex Cells and Skinny Cells via transfer from Opal. For this canvas, Brown Pixelstuck only restored Skinny Cells, making their lattice for the canvas a version of Skinny Cells' lattice in shades of brown, with the newly restored vassal's core being placed to the right of the Wayward Vagabond art.

On the 3rd of September, 12 days into the canvas, Brown Pixelstuck began placing a QR code linking to the music video for Be Faithful by Fatman Scoop over a part of the King of Snowgrave piece. A day later, it was discovered that the website Onion77 used to generate the QR code tracked the information of users who scanned it. Upon learning about this, Onion changed the QR code to one directly linking to the YouTube upload of the music video with the assistance of Zephyr. After the faction finished placing the new QR code, Onion announced the formation of a new Brown Pixelstuck vassal called "QR". However, a few days later, he announced that the prior announcement was a joke and no such faction would be forming.

On the same day, Onion77 announced that the faction's logo would be changed temporarily "to pay respects for 9/3 canvas". The temporary logo chosen by Onion was a satirical image depicting Pxls moderator, Temriel's ego as larger than the RMS Titanic. It was changed back to the original logo after being the logo of the faction for 37 hours.

On the 9th of September, 18 days into the canvas, Onion revived the defunct Yellow Lattice faction as a vassal of Brown Pixelstuck and announced that the newly restored vassal was going to war with Green Lattice. Their first core was placed directly below {:}'s art, approximately 150 pixels above Green Lattice's core. It was later placed over when Green Lattice expanded their lattice to the location of the core.

Later in the canvas, Yellow Lattice was placed between the Jade Harley and Wayward Vagabond artworks. It occupied the left side of Brown Pixelstuck's territory and served as the faction's second lattice for the canvas, alongside Skinny Cells' lattice which occupied the right side of the faction's territory.

On the 18th of September, 27 days into the canvas, Brown Pixelstuck's leader, Onion77 was permanently chatbanned from pxls.space for repeated violations of the chat civility rules. His last message in the on-site chat read "I want Neuro hung by jumper cables". Following the chatban, Onion responded by posting parody lyrics for the song Heil Hitler by Kanye West in the #attention channel of the Brown Pixelstuck discord server, with the chorus being changed to say "Squida, Heil Neuro" and the rest of lyrics adjusted to relate to Onion and his recent chatban.

Conflict with TPE

Temriel's Ego after being griefed

Onion77 has been temporarily chatbanned by Temriel and other moderators on multiple occasions due to violations of chat civility rules. Onion has publicly expressed criticism of Temriel, who is both the Chancellor of The Purple Empire and a member of the Swarm Council in addition to serving as a pxls.space moderator. Onion has claimed that Temriel shows favoritism toward Neuro-sama's Swarm due to his leadership roles in the faction.

On the 30th of August, 8 days into the canvas, Onion griefed Temriel’s ego artwork by changing the number displayed on it to 0.00K. The modification was reverted, but it contributed to ongoing tensions between Brown Pixelstuck and Temriel.

On the 8th of September, 17 days into the canvas, Onion announced that Skinny Cells' lattice would expand upwards directly into territory near The Purple Empire's background, describing it as a "road to TPE". The initial template for this expansion went through Edge Gang's King of Snowgrave piece, but had to be altered after Distance refused permission to overlap their artwork. As a result, Skinny Cells was forced to expand through the one-pixel gap between the King of Snowgrave piece and the edge of the canvas.

On the 9th of September, Skinny Cells' upwards expansion breached the territory of The Purple Empire (TPE), triggering a conflict between the two factions. Due to TPE's larger numbers and wider community support, Skinny Cells was heavily outnumbered and was pushed back significantly. Two and a half hours after the conflict started, the two sides reached a resolution, agreeing on the location of the border between their backgrounds creating a triangular shape against the edge of the canvas. However, incursions on the border by Onion and griefs on Skinny Cells by TPE-supporting independent placers continued for a few hours after the compromise.

On the 10th of September, Iceydwagon (Zephyr), Leader of Void pushed the border between Skinny Cells and The Purple Empire back to the gap between the King of Snowgrave piece and the edge of the canvas in support of TPE, then created a long rectangular sign saying their username over a portion of the remaining cells below the border. Brown Pixelstuck attempted multiple incursions into Iceydwagon's sign, though all of them were repelled.

The sign, as well as remnants of Skinny Cells' "road to TPE" were destroyed during the Ember Empire's raid on the King of Snowgrave piece starting on the 17th of September, 8 days after the conflict.

Swarm raid and failed counter-offensives

On the 10th of September, 19 days into the canvas, the Jade artwork and the QR code were raided by Neuro-sama's Swarm. They altered the art to give Jade a smiling expression, an outfit inspired by Neuro-sama's VTuber model, and changed the sign to read #BefriendNeuro. They also altered the QR code to make it link to the music video for Neuro-sama and Evil Neuro's NEVER, which was released 10 days prior to the raid. The Swarm finished making their modifications to the art 60 minutes after the beginning of the raid.

On the 17th of September, 7 days after the Swarm raid, Brown Pixelstuck attempted a raid to retake the Jade artwork. The raiders were able to fully restore Jade's previous outfit and nearly restore the text on the sign without any significant resistance for the first 3 hours of the raid. However, they became outnumbered when Swarm members began noticing the raid, and the raid was fully repelled after 5 hours.

On the following day, the faction and volunteers began placing Onion's design for Yellow Lattice above the Swarm's Evil Tao art over their pre-existing lattice. Swarm's lattice in the area was restored and the Yellow Lattice colony was destroyed after approximately 1 hour.

Dark Cells (also known as Void Cells), Hex Cells and Skinny Cells are lattice factions inspired by Cell Lattice. Dark Cells places black or dark-colored cells, Hex Cells places hexagonal cells and Skinny Cells places skinny cells. All three were defunct factions prior to being restored as vassals of Brown Pixelstuck in Canvas 93 after their ownership was transferred to the faction by Opal.

During Canvas 93, Brown Pixelstuck restored Skinny Cells, making one of their two lattices for the canvas a version of Skinny Cells' lattice in shades of brown. Their core was placed to the right of Brown Pixelstuck's Wayward Vagabond art. The lattice occupied the right side of Brown Pixelstuck territory, while Yellow Lattice occupied the left side.

History

On Canvas 93, Brown Pixelstuck restored and redesigned Yellow Lattice, making it one of their two lattices for the canvas. Their core was placed to the right of the Jade Harley artwork. They occupied the left side of Brown Pixelstuck's territory, while Skinny Cells occupied the right side.

On the 9th of September, 18 days into Canvas 93, prior to their final placement on the canvas, their first core was placed directly below {:}'s art, approximately 150 pixels above Green Lattice's core after Onion77 announced that the newly restored faction would be going to war with Green Lattice. It was later placed over when Green Lattice expanded their lattice to the location of the core. 8 days later on the 17th of September, Brown Pixelstuck and volunteers began placing Yellow Lattice above the Swarm's Evil Tao art over their pre-existing lattice. Swarm's lattice in the area was restored and the Yellow Lattice colony was destroyed after approximately 1 hour.

On Canvas 94, The Navy Blue Grand Monarchy recognized the faction as the official successor of the Yellow Faction. the two groups addressed and ended the historical conflict between blue and yellow factions.
